[Wrist Accessories / Costumes] Handmade Outfit Ideas for Sports Day

dinosaur

We’ll show you how to make an adorable dinosaur costume that looks cute from the back, recommended for ages 0 to around 2.

Prepare nonwoven fabric in the color of the dinosaur you want to make.

Cut the nonwoven fabric to fit your child’s head and sew it into a hat shape.

When making the horns on the hat, use two triangular pieces layered and sewn together; this increases strength and helps the horns stand up firmly and stay in place.

For the dinosaur outfit, stuff the tail with cotton to give it volume, and use hook-and-loop fasteners for the shoulder straps to make size adjustments easy.

Add elastic at the ankles to gather the fabric so the costume won’t drag on the ground when walking.

Totoro

Among the hugely popular Studio Ghibli series for both children and adults, isn’t My Neighbor Totoro by far the most beloved? A smock that you can slip over your whole body might be an easy project even for those who aren’t very confident in sewing.

Just make a smock from gray fabric and stick on Totoro’s face and other features, and you’re done.

Using handy materials like fabric glue or double-sided tape will make it even easier.

Adding a little soot sprite as a bonus is sure to be a hit!

Bee

Bees are definitely something we’d never want to encounter in real life, but why do they look so cute when turned into costumes or characters? The yellow-and-black stripes and the little antennae are adorable, aren’t they? The good news is that a cute bee costume is easy to make, so it’s perfect for people who are short on time or not confident with crafting.

All you need are simple materials like a yellow trash bag big enough for your child to slip into and some decorative tape.

If you use tape to add your child’s name, it looks even cuter and makes it feel like a unique, special costume just for them.

[Cheerleader Costume] Easy Costume Making with Colored Poly Bags

Cheerleading outfits are perfect for rooting for your team at a sports day! If the boys are on the cheering squad, let the girls rock cute cheer uniforms! While you can rent or buy outfits, creating original ones to match the kids and the vibe of the kindergarten or school will make the memories even more special.

Making both the top and bottom is great, but just the top or just the skirt is fine too! You can cover the parts you don’t make with clothes you already have at home, like regular wear or gym uniforms.

Use white as the base and add bold primary colors to make it look bright and adorable!

Guri and Gura

[100-yen shop felt] How to make Guri and Gura’s outfits | Easy pattern using clothes you already have | Halloween 구리와 구라 Guri and Gura 100-yen DIY

Let us introduce costumes inspired by Guri and Gura that are perfect for a sports day.

Prepare patterns for the clothes, ears, and hat sized for your child, and let’s get started.

It’s easier if you create the patterns using your child’s clothing as a sample.

Cut the felt according to the patterns, and cut out the clothes, hat, ears, and each part.

For the tail, make it long and cut it to match your child’s height.

When sewing the ears together, overlap the base portions as you sew to add a three-dimensional look—highly recommended.

When sewing the sides of the hat, sandwich the ears in and sew them together.

Attach the brim to finish the hat.

For the clothes, sew the tail onto the back first, then sew the rest together.

These will look adorable and are sure to be a hit at the sports day.
